Union Jacks have been popular for awhile.
They are on all kinds of things.. quilts, ottomans, pillows- you name it.
They have pretty much popped up everywhere.

Well I finally worked on a little Union Jack creation of my own.
A couple pillows made with a little burlap and jute webbing.
There is something so charming about the simple design of them.
I know these technically aren’t exactly like a Union Jack- but I am liking them.
I love working with burlap.
I love the texture, love the charm, love the color.
( okay, not loving the itchy eyes or the allergies so much 😉 )
I also love striped webbing- in all colors. Yes, kind of crazy I know.
It just reminds me of something vintage and charming.

I knew when I saw this red striped upholstery webbing it was perfect for something…
I just didn’t know what something yet.
(You can find both the webbing and burlap at Burlapfabric.com)
But as I stared at that webbing and that burlap…I thought of it.
Burlap. Webbing = Union Jacks.

I am loving how they turned out.
So simple. So charming.
Perfect to add a little rustic to the mix.

So cute on the sofa but before I get too many emails about them not belonging in my French Country Cottage
😉 these pillows are off to somewhere new ~ I’ll share more about that soon.

Gee Singh Newbanks says
I can relate to the itchy and watery eyes when working with burlap. But the finished product is always worth it.
Luv the pillow.. cute!

Athena at Minerva's Garden says
This is very pretty, Courtney–it's a little more delicate looking than some of the Union Jack home decor items I've seen, and that appeals to me. A versatile piece you've created that could work in a lot of different rooms, I would imagine.

I love these and I think they look great on your French sofa but can't wait to see where you put them next. Thanks for all the inspiration!!

Where in the heck do you get the jute webbing? I swear that Grand Junction, CO is missing alot. I hear about so many awesome products and they are not be found in our area, very discouaging. I get all revved up to make something but can't find the "stuff", doggone it. Really love your Union Jack pillows, look pretty easy and quick.
Courtney says
This jute webbing is from my sponsor Burlapfabric.com~ you can order it from them and they will ship it right to you. 🙂

I think they're lovely and look great in your French Country decor, after all, France is not far from Great Britain, now is it.
Hugs, Cindy

Fabulous!
CeCe says
Very clever to combine the burlap with the jute to make the design. I like them very much. I would like to make some with a white stripe!
Unknown says
I guess I am like Judy! I do think they "belong" well in you home.
Still I am very very curious as in what you will do with them!
I will stay tuned!
Sandy
Since I am also a lot in styling in clothes… I had only used the jute webbing for making belts… I think this is a great idea for a cushion!
Sistergirl says
Very cute, I never heard of that before.
Lori @ Interior Domain says
Cute pillow. You make burlap look so good!
Unknown says
Oh, man. I love those. I am nuts about the Union Jack. These are fantastic. I am pinning them to my, "Union Jack" board on Pinterest directly from your site.
Val says
I'm in love with this pillow.
Amy Chalmers says
Love that motif too, and yours looks so pretty on the couch!

I generally don't care for burlap and/or jute webbing projects, but I LOVE this one!! It's the perfect use of both materials. Fabulous!!
